Fascinating interview with chess grandmaster Kasparov on artificial intelligence. Kasparov: “There was a time people didn’t trust elevators without operators. They thought it would be too dangerous. It took a major strike in the city of New York that was equal a major disaster. You had to climb the Empire State Building with paralyzed elevators. I understand that today, people are concerned about self-driving cars, absolutely. But now let us imagine that there was a time, I’m sure, people were really concerned, they were scared stiff of autopilots. Now, I think if you tell them that autopilot’s not working in the plane, they will not fly because they understand that, in the big numbers, these decisions are still more qualitative.”

I always wondered. How much ype is there in AI? Well, here is an article debunking the myth of a superhuman artificial intelligence. Hyper-intelligent algorithms are not going to take over the world for these five reasons.
